Chapter 166 Different Competition Intensity
On the evening of the 22nd, Staples Arena.
Amid the passionate shouts of the DJ, the players entered the arena.
The Clippers are now skyrocketing in ticket revenue and jersey revenue, and even the DJ has changed to someone with a more passionate voice.
Game start.
The Clippers' Maggette was injured and absent, and the starting lineup became Cassel, Mobley, He Xinghui, Gasol, and Kaman.
He Xinghui was once again pushed to the small forward position to face McGrady.
A good shooting guard, he was used as a swingman by Dunleavy because of a flawed lineup.
The Rockets' starters are Alston, Wesley, McGrady, Juwan Howard, and Yao Ming.
Their lineup also has problems. Mickey Mouse Wesley, who has the height of a point guard and shooting guard skills, is easy to be blown up by tall pitchers.
The two sides jumped the ball, and McGrady stared at He Xinghui, as if he was guarding against He Xinghui's sneak attack.
After all, last time He Xinghui had an opening shot.
It's nothing more than being humiliated once. If He Xinghui does it again, the Rockets will become the laughing stock of the league.
This time McGrady was too worried. He Xinghui was living a frugal life in order to fully upgrade to B-level.
Yao Ming got the ball, the Rockets advanced, and He Xinghui followed McGrady.
"I didn't get the AMVP the day before yesterday, so I'm very upset."
He Xinghui asked.
"That's better than you, you don't even have the qualifications to play."
Maddie responded.
"There are more news about not playing than you, and you actually understand that I will be a regular visitor to the All-Star in the future. And you? How many times can you make it, once, or twice?"
He Xinghui asked with a smile.
The truth always hurts, McGrady ran away in a hurry, not sure if it was to get an open shot, or because he was afraid of He Xinghui's trash talk.
He Xinghui continued to catch up, talking trash would not delay his defense.
At this time, Yao Ming was already in the low post, catching the ball with his back to the basket.
Then, he swayed Kaman with a fake move, turned around and broke through the bottom line.
He was not far from the basket at first, but he took two steps after breaking through, and he was already at the basket.
He then 'puts' the ball into the hoop without shooting or dunking.
This move is Yao Ming's Shanghai dance, which is powerful but consumes a lot of energy.
The breakthrough requires a burst of speed, otherwise Kaman will react and the chance of breakthrough will be gone.
Kaman's slowness is compared to NBA strikers and guards. Compared with ordinary people, Kaman is actually not slow at all.
Seeing Yao Ming hit the first ball like this, Dunleavy off the court was very happy.
If Yao Ming can consume Yao Ming's physical strength in the first few quarters, it doesn't matter if he falls behind in the score.
The Clippers attacked, and Mobley singled Mickey Mouse.
He has a height advantage, and after shaking Wesley a little, he jumped up and shot.
Unfortunately, he didn't make it.
Returning to the starting lineup and facing a player he can bully again, he wants to perform too much.
The difference between a superstar and some stars is often a stability, and the lower limit of a superstar is much higher.
When facing an advantageous matchup, Mobley can sometimes explode, but the superstar explodes most of the time.
Yao Ming and Kaman jumped up at the same time, and Yao Ming allocated the basketball to Juwan Howard just to be on the safe side.
The number of rebounds does not fully reflect a player's dominance at the basket.
Some people need the help of teammates to get in position to grab rebounds. The data is beautiful, but the effect is average.
Some people will give the basketball to teammates. There is no data, but the effect of protecting the frame is very good.
The ball was in the hands of Alston, they slowed down, and waited for Yao Ming to pass halftime and landed.
Kaman continued to single-handedly defend Yao Ming, luring Yao Ming to hit him at this point.
Alston was very entangled. He wanted to pass the ball to McGrady. The problem was that McGrady was tightly entangled by He Xinghui, and the chance didn't seem very good.
However, Alstom chose to let McGrady try.
The ball was in the hands of McGrady, but McGrady failed to make a breakthrough and tried to solve the problem with a dry call.
He is taller than He Xinghui, but this cannot completely ignore He Xinghui's interference.
What's more terrible is that he doesn't seem to be very good at the moment, and it's the first time he strikes iron.
This kind of shot is too simple.
"You just throw it like this? Do you think this is a playground shooting game?"
He Xinghui mocked.
"Shut up, your one-ball game is outdated."
Maddie retorted.
Xinghei, who was free and boring before, statistically analyzed He Xinghui's trash talk on the Internet.
Then I summed up many rules, one of which is that He Xinghui likes to generalize.
He often ignores when others perform well and the overall strengths, and always repeatedly ridicules a mistake or a certain weakness of the opponent.
The star reminded the majority of players not to care about He Xinghui's trash talk.
Obviously, McGrady had read the analysis of the article, and now his heart is clear, and he won't be depressed because he missed a shot.
"Yeah, let's talk about the whole thing. Are you shooting 40 percent this season?"
He Xinghui asked with a smile.
Maddie: "."
His shooting percentage this season is really eye-catching, fluctuating around 40%, even Iverson is better than him.
The Clippers attacked, and He Xinghui used Mobley to block McGrady, forcing the Rockets to switch defenses. The situation became McGrady vs. Mobley, Wesley vs. He Xinghui.
The ball reached He Xinghui, and He Xinghui shot Wesley.
The difference between the two is nearly 15 centimeters, and with the addition of the wingspan, He Xinghui is a head taller than the other.
The goal was scored, and Wesley looked helpless.
"Little friend, go back and eat milk for two years and grow taller before you come back to play."
He Xinghui said.
Wesley opened his mouth, then held back.
The coach said, don't talk to He Xinghui.
The Rockets attacked, and Wesley also helped McGrady cover and block He Xinghui.
Then, McGrady shot.
Unfortunately, the ball still missed.
"Give you a chance, you are useless."
He Xinghui shook his head, looking sad for his misfortune.
[60 points of anger from McGrady. 】
McGrady was really angry this time, not only with He Xinghui, but also with himself.
Afterwards, he pretended to ignore He Xinghui, and trotted back to defend.
The Clippers attacked, He Xinghui and Gasol picked and rolled, after the dislocation, He Xinghui broke through Juwan Howard, and Gasol followed.
With Yao Ming under the basket, even if He Xinghui made a breakthrough, it would not be easy for him to make a layup.
Therefore, this is the tactic that Gasol keeps up with.
When He Xinghui attracted everyone's defensive attention, he tossed his head back and followed Gasol to catch the ball and dunk.
Gasol, who has already rushed up, is difficult to stop.
In this classic cooperation, Kobe also played Gasol many times in the original time and space.
It's a pity that it now belongs to He Xinghui and Gasol, who are dubbed "fatal moves" by fans.
Because He Xinghui has an H in his name, and Pau Gasol has a P, the combination is the HP in the game.
The big moves that need to consume HP are often fatal moves.
The Rockets attacked, and Yao Ming, who was already behind, seemed a little anxious. He wanted the ball to hit Kaman under the basket, and then threw the ball in with a small hook.
This kind of strong attack is very exhausting. After all, Kaman's tonnage is not small. If you want to push Kaman back a step, you need to consume at least a thousand calories of energy.
"Wake up, with your style of play, you still want to enter the playoffs?"
He Xinghui continued to taunt McGrady, but the Rockets were injured.
The playoffs are their goal for the Rockets, but they are now 22 wins and 31 losses, and the situation is very pessimistic.
According to usual experience, at least 44 wins are needed to break through from the West, and the Rockets need to win 29 of the remaining 22 games.
is it possible?
But anyone who drank less than a few sips didn't think they had hope.
CCTV.
"The Rockets can't play like this. They can't rely entirely on Dayao. They have to open outside."
Zhang Lili complained.
When the Rockets guard didn't pass the ball to Yao Ming, he complained that Yao Ming couldn't catch the ball.
Now that the ball is passed to Yao Ming, he complains that the Rockets rely too much on Yao Ming.
In short, if a team can't play well and lag behind, any tactics are ugly.
As long as you can take the lead and win the game, the single challenge technique can also be called a triangle offense.
"The Rockets want to make the playoffs this year is a bit in doubt, this game must be won."
Sun Zhengping said.
"A Xing is ignorant. Their team has won 32 games, so they can't let the water go. Help the Rockets."
One fan complained.
"Why do you still support the fight against match-fixing, do you understand the spirit of sports competition?"
"I just said that Ah Xing doesn't need to work so hard."
"Damn, don't be morally kidnapped, okay? Ah Xing also needs to win more, and needs to improve his alliance status."
Although many Rockets fans know that it is outrageous to ask He Xinghui to release water, they still hope that the Rockets can win.
However, after being refuted by the star fans, they didn't make a sound anymore, the argument ended, and the two sides continued to watch the game.
On the court, the Rockets' perimeter finally opened, and Wesley made a three-pointer.
Wesley, who has obvious loopholes in defense, can mix in this league, and naturally has his uniqueness.
The 37% three-point shooting rate is already the most accurate in the main force and rotation.
The Clippers attacked, and they chose to play fast.
Before the players were completely on the ground, Mobley shot from the outside.
Although the ball missed, Yao Ming didn't take a breath, and ran to the frontcourt again.
This round, he didn't play a role on the defensive end.
It was McGrady's fourth shot and finally scored one. He even breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't make another shot, the pressure on him would be even greater.
Playing against other teams will lose, but at least no one will come running around and chirping every time he misses.
Cassel quickly served the ball from the bottom line, and Mobley took two steps and passed it to He Xinghui.
He Xinghui is still one step away from the three-point line, and McGrady is not close yet.
Ever since, He Xinghui suddenly cast a cold arrow.
When he made the shot, Yao Ming had just run to the basket.
The ball scored, Yao Ming held the basketball in his hand and didn't want to give it to Wesley, and didn't want to kick off.
However, this obviously doesn't work.
Fortunately, Van Gundy kept signaling Alston to press the rhythm on the sidelines, and Alstom slowly dribbled the ball across the half.
Cassel rushed forward to press, he would rather be broken by Alstom, but also force the opponent to raise the rhythm.
Alston was faster than Kassel. After avoiding the press, he instinctively made a breakthrough and passed Kassel.
In front of him, there is no defense for the time being.
This made Alstom a headache, and he wanted to make a three-pointer without defense.
However, at this time Yao Ming had just settled down again.
If he shoots now, it is equivalent to a transition from offense to defense, and he has to force Yao Ming to run back to his own position immediately.
But if you don't vote, it would be a pity to have such a good opportunity.
"The Clippers' lineup is a bit of a rocket."
Buckley said.
The Clippers' outside three-pointers are much more accurate than the Rockets', so they very much hope to play a fast-paced chaotic battle with the Rockets.
The Rockets can only play positional warfare, so the Clippers give the Rockets players a chance outside, and they have to struggle.
In the end, Alston voted for one, who hasn't lost his temper yet.
Bang!
Alstom strikes iron.
Off the field, Van Gundy looked anxious.
"Defense, defense, we have to do a good job on the perimeter, and we can't give He and Cutino an easy shot."
Van Gundy called a timeout, emphasized perimeter defense, and replaced Wesley with Keith Bogans, a swingman with a height of nearly 2 meters.
His offense isn't very good, but his defense is much better than Wesley's.
As a defensive coach, when the score is behind, all he thinks about is how to strengthen the defense.
The game continued, and Mobley didn't have a good chance, so he forcibly shot the iron.
"Give the ball to Ah Xing. At this time, Ah Xing needs to break through to disrupt the Rockets' defense."
Zhang Lili complained.
Conversely, the Rockets attacked, and McGrady made a mid-range strike.
"Give the ball to Dayao. At this time, Dayao needs to play under the basket to hurt the Clippers, so that Gasol dare not step forward to interfere easily."
Zhang Lili continued to come up with ideas.
In front of the TV, a fan complained: "Understood, let Ah Xing and Yao Ming go head-to-head, and the others can go home."
"Not to mention, if they are two heads-up, I would be happy to watch it for an hour."
Another fan answered.
Next, everyone started arguing about who would win in a heads-up duel between He Xinghui and the others.
On the court, after the first quarter, the score was 28 to 27, and the Rockets still led by one point.
However, people who know a little bit more about penalty kicks are worried about the Rockets.
Their lead by one point was due to the massive consumption of Yao Ming.
By the second quarter, McGrady was still on the court, and Alstom was also on the court.
On the Clippers side, Mobley and Gasol are also there.
This is the sprint stage of the playoffs, and there will be more than two main players on the field at any time.
After dozens of games in the early stage, each team has almost tested the abilities of the players in the team.
In the next game, those who are capable will be promoted, and those marginal players will hardly have the chance to play again. Most teams will rotate with 8-9 players.
By the end of the first half, McGrady had played 20 minutes, the highest in the game.
If the second half is full, it will be 44 minutes of playing time.
On the other hand, the Clippers' playing time is relatively even.
He Xinghui 15 minutes, Gasol 16 minutes, Mobley 16 minutes
Relying on McGrady's desperate efforts, the Rockets led by 55 points 51 to 4 at halftime.
The second half of the game begins.
"I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Kobe?"
He Xinghui asked tremblingly.
Even though he just played a few minutes less and rested for a few minutes more, his state is completely different.
"So what?"
He Xinghui, who had been talking nonsense all the time, suddenly asked a normal question, which made McGrady curious.
"Seeing my good friend holding three championships, in front of the boss of the team, I feel uncomfortable."
He Xinghui laughed.
Most people can accept that strangers are better than themselves, but people around them are better than themselves, but they are easily lost in their hearts.
The honor in He Xinghui's own hands could not crush McGrady, could not stimulate him, so he simply borrowed Kobe to stimulate him.
McGrady's face turned dark again when he heard this, and then said: "He won the championship, I am very happy for him."
He didn't want others to know that he was jealous.
"Oh, are you sure?"
He Xinghui continued to show that flat smile.
It's unbelievable for a person who doesn't even want to help his cousin, and doesn't want to get along with him.
"I'm not interested in discussing this with you."
McGrady reached for the ball, broke through, and made a layup.
McGrady, who scored two points, panted heavily.
Next, He Xinghui was still trying to talk trash to McGrady, but McGrady didn't give him any more anger points.
Obviously, McGrady has entered a state of being undisturbed.
Perhaps, in order to make it to the playoffs, he concentrated with great perseverance.
"The game officially begins."
He Xinghui suddenly said something that no one else could understand, isn't it more than half of the game already?
What He Xinghui meant was that instead of talking rubbish, you should concentrate on playing and defeat your opponent with hard power.
So far in this game, a total of 330 anger points have been collected from McGrady, Wesley, and Alston, which is not bad.
Maintaining this level and not spending, he can save almost [-] points by the end of the regular season.
The Clippers attacked, He Xinghui ran to the right, Gasol went directly to the high position, and helped He Xinghui block McGrady.
Subsequently, He Xinghui received the ball, made a shot, and hit a three-pointer.
The Rockets attacked, and Yao Ming missed the hook at the basket.
Gasol jumps up for a rebound and a long pass.
When He Xinghui played a fast break, he always floated on the outside line when defending, and he could run ahead every time there was a fast break opportunity.
This kind of defense is easy to be exploded when encountering an opponent with a strong breakthrough.
However, who made him the boss of the team.
He missed someone, so someone will make up for it.
And he, as long as he gets enough points, fans will naturally ignore his performance on the defensive end.
At least, in the first one or two seasons, unless his record has not broken through in the future, fans will make demands on his defense.
He Xinghui, who played quickly, easily scored 2 points. As a result, he easily scored 5 points at this moment.
Adding the 15 points in the first half, this breaks 20.
On the other hand, McGrady played desperately for more than 20 minutes and scored only 18 points.
The game continued, and the Clippers were still speeding up.
Yao Ming shook his head at the basket, and then contributed 20 anger points to He Xinghui.
When eating at noon, He Xinghui directly told him that he would run away to kill him, but he didn't expect that the Clippers would actually come here for real now, it's too disrespectful of martial arts.
After the third quarter, the two sides tied 77 to 77, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
However, the status of the two parties is completely different.
The Clippers' momentum was like a rainbow, and the Rockets' side was a little downcast. Those who didn't know thought they were a lot behind.
